X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><a href="https://libraryc.org/piercecounty
 library/195816"><strong>Register here!</strong></a></p>\n<p>Join us for a 
 paradigm-shifting\, essential event as we sit down with world-renowned mas
 ter facilitator Priya Parker to discuss her groundbreaking new book\,&nbsp
 \;The Art of Fighting: The Transformative Power of Conflict.&nbsp\;</p>\n<
 p>In&nbsp\;The Art of Fighting\, Priya Parker explains that we can&rsquo\;
 t form and grow effective relationships without a fight. She rejects the i
 dea that conflict is abnormal or that good groups don&rsquo\;t fight. All 
 groups change and evolve\; indeed\, it&rsquo\;s because people disagree th
 at good groups flourish.</p>\n<p>As she did in the now-classic&nbsp\;The A
 rt of Gathering\, Parker draws on her far-reaching experience as a conflic
 t facilitator\, her own detailed research\, and real-world examples to lay
  out the ways that people can identify disputes\, determine how to address
  them\, and what to do if they are insurmountable. Whether people disagree
  in the boardroom or the locker room\, on a playground or in church\, onli
 ne or in person\, conflict is a part of life\, and understanding healthy c
 onflict and how to harness its power is more important than ever.&nbsp\;Th
 e Art of Fighting&nbsp\;is a vital primer to help all of us understand how
  to do that.</p>\n<p>Register today to learn how to turn everyday argument
 s into profound moments of connection and trust!</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>A
 bout the Author:&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Priya Parker is an internationally recogni
 zed expert on creating purposeful gatherings and reimagining how we come t

 The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why it Matters&nbsp\;and the host of
 &nbsp\;The Art of Gathering Digital Course. Whether addressing CEOs\, non-
